a. parsimony; simplest; fewest
When selecting among multiple possible phylogenetic trees that fit our data, we commonly use the principle of <u>parsimony</u>, which means we choose the <u>simplest</u> possible hypothesis. In phylogenetic analysis, that means selecting the tree that represents the <u>fewest</u> evolutionary changes or mutations.
Explanation:
Phylogeny describes the evolutionary history of on organism or group of organisms.
A phylogenetic tree structure is used to describe the relationship between various organisms which have originated from common ancestors.
The Principle of Parsimony is best applied while constructing phylogenetic tree.
This principle emphasizes on simple observations on a phylogeny which requires only few changes or variations which explain for the difference between the phylogenic sequences.
This tree structure will only have few specific genetic variations or mutations or evolutionary changes which took place through new appearance of a trait or disappearance of an existing trait.

Answer:
Box 1: AA
Box 2: Aa
Box 3: AA
Explanation:
In order to figure out the pedigree, you first have to do a punnet square- kind of like cross-multiplying. EX: For the first box: Aa x AA
For box one, we know that it is Aa, and not AA, because box 2 has to be AA.
We know that because Aa X Aa would give us some "aa" offspring which we do not see in the last generation (see 2nd pic). The only way to get no "aa" offspring is to have an AA X Aa cross.
